Preseason Orange County FB Team
Mater Dei hasn’t always been this dominant, but now in the “transfer era” the football program has taken off and is clearly among the best in the nation, rivaling only St. John Bosco in California, and with no end in sight.

All-State Football 2017: Sophomores
As is our custom, we begin releasing our annual Cal-Hi Sports All-State Football Teams with honors for sophomores and juniors.

Week 12 Top 25 Weekend Scoreboard
It’s not too surprising that two state-ranked teams – No. 9 Serra of Gardena and No. 21 Bishop Amat of La Puente – lost in the first round of the CIF Southern Section D1 playoffs due to the strength of the first 12 to 14 teams. But it was more of shocker that state No. […]
